Garbage pt. 2

Garbage is inextricably tied to abundance, and we create so much garbage that some people make their livelihoods off it. We wanted to show you some alternative places and uses for your garbage, and the people who capitalize on it: Sophie and Fannie check out Jim Klinko's Furniture on Consignment in Westport, Connecticut, to hear about his life spent flipping other people's cast-offs for cash, and what his work means to him. Plus, we'll take you into some of New York City's finest dumpsters with a group of Freegans who scavenge through grocery store waste in search of their next meal. Then we'll introduce you to Miriam Goldstein, a young marine biologist who started her professional career looking for the Great Pacific Garbage Island. She didn't find a garbage island, but what she found floating in the ocean can only be described as "plastic chowder," and she says there's thousands of miles of it to go around.
